Carl Higbie, the outspoken Newsmax host, isn’t holding back. He’s accusing Attorney General Pam Bondi of a massive cover-up regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s explosive files.
Higbie claims that someone must face jail time for allegedly mishandling crucial evidence.
During his dramatic monologue, Higbie played a clip of Rep. Thomas Massie, who slammed the extensive redactions in the Justice Department's Epstein files.

Newsmax host Carl Higbie believes someone should 'go to jail' for the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files.
He asks viewers, “You see why people like me still think this is a cover-up?” The implication? Bondi and her team are hiding something.
His fiery rhetoric doesn’t stop there. “This is either a cover-up or it’s incompetence, and I want somebody to go to jail for it,” Higbie declared.
It’s a bold statement that adds pressure to Bondi amidst growing scrutiny from lawmakers on both sides. The House Judiciary Committee hearing saw tensions rise as Democrats and Republicans alike demanded greater transparency regarding Epstein’s infamous network.
Lawmakers Question the Justice Department in Hearing

Lawmakers questioned the Justice Department during a tense hearing.
Higbie’s comments resonate deeply. Rep. Jerry Nadler didn’t hold back either during the heated exchanges. “How many of Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators has the department indicted?” he pressed, only to be met with Bondi’s evasion.
Nadler shot back, declaring, “The answer is zero.” Who wouldn’t want to know why?
In the midst of this chaos, Higbie praised Nadler’s tough questioning, emphasizing that the issue should unite, not divide.
“The Justice Department’s handling of the file release is unacceptable,” he insisted. Those responsible for the alleged mismanagement, he argues, should lose their jobs.

Redacted Epstein Files Spark Transparency Debate

Critics demanded transparency over the controversial documents.
But it gets juicier. Massie, one of the sponsors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, has also been vocal about the excessive redactions.
He and Rep. Ro Khanna have scrutinized the Justice Department, expressing frustration over the lack of transparency in documents that should be open.
“We noticed continued redactions, even in FBI interview reports,” Massie stated.
The Justice Department, however, stands firm, claiming compliance with the 2025 law and announcing that a staggering "over 3 million additional pages" have been released. Officials emphasize that the redactions are intended to protect victims and their families. "Notable individuals and politicians were not redacted in the release of any files," they stated.
Pressure Grows on Officials to Release More Documents

Pressure mounted on officials to reveal more details surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein’s files.
Bondi, facing the storm of accusations, insists that the department has handled the allegations seriously. She shifts the blame to previous administrations, maintaining that they failed to take action. As pressure mounts, Bondi continues to defend her department amid the chaos.
Higbie, a staunch Trump ally, reveals his motivation. His criticism aims to push an administration he wants to succeed. “We need answers about why so many documents are blacked out,” he stated. The public demands transparency, and it seems Higbie is determined to get it.
As this scandal unfolds, the stakes keep rising. Will Bondi face consequences? Who will be held accountable for the alleged cover-up? One thing is for sure: the drama surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s files is far from over. Stay tuned!
